Quiet today - a little more like winter tonight

The clouds you see outside are in advance of an approaching low pressure system that will be joining us later tonight and early Tuesday morning.  
Quiet weather is expected this afternoon as a breezy southeast wind bumps temperatures into the lower 40s.  By this evening, mostly cloudy skies will be found with a few light rain showers; possibly mixing with a little snow around midnight.  After midnight, temperatures may cool enough at the surface (lows will fall into the lower 30s) and there may be enough dynamical cooling aloft that a change over to snow showers will be found through Tuesday morning.  If the precipitation does change over to all snow some locations could receive up to two inches by Tuesday morning's commute making roadways, sidewalks and parking a little slick.  The low will quickly move to the east by Tuesday evening leaving mostly cloudy skies and gusty west/southwest winds in its wake.  Temperatures will rise close to 40° during the afternoon and then remain in the lower 40s through Thursday.
